Having spent much more than my share of time living outdoors in cold conditions I am a huge fan of liquid fueled stoves burning Coleman or similar camping type fuel. They will light regardless of temperature whereas gaseous fuels become harder to light and less efficient as temperatures drop...

I use most of the ideas already discussed although now living in North Carolina things like birch bark, fir, hemlock, spruce etc simply aren't available. But cedar and grape bark, dried pine sap, fatwood etc are. As one ascends each 1000 feet the flora change is roughly equivalent to going 200...

Thanks, Guys Al, I'm looking forward to getting to try the tumpline. If I like it I may add them to some of my other packs. I'm making the tumpline for this pack but given that Duluth sells their tumpline for only $15 I may buy them going forward. Oliver, I did a search for Woods packs and...

I'm in the process of cutting out and preparing to sew a pack very similar to Duluth's #4 Original 72 liter pack. Although I have a fair bit of 9-10 oz leather on hand this first one will get nylon or polyester webbing closure straps and buckles for the flap and tumpline end straps and a modern...

Thanks, Al. Sorry for the late reply. We were camping this week. Lance

They have free shipping at $75 in the contiguos 48 US states. They also have a Canadian site linked at the top of the page..... Lance

I just looked and after you get past the credit card and other offers and get to your main page it's buried 2 pages in on the page wherein you confirm where you want the money to get sent from (bank account, card etc). They've done everything they can to hide it short of deleting it altogether...

Can someone with a Duluth pack please measure the rivet head diameter and flap closing strap width? I suspect the rivet heads will be around either 3/8" (0.375") or a bit under 1/2" (0.475") Thanks Lance

I have several NRS waterproof pack style dry bags but am also just starting to sew a few canvas packs primarily based on the traditional Duluth designs. Past experience has shown that trash compactor bags are relatively inexpensive and make pretty durable pack liners and a spare weighs very...

kbobb, where do you live?

I know this is an older thread but I'm just starting to make packs and I'm always open to ideas and learning from other's experiences. At 60L each how did the size of these work out and, if you did it again, would you stay at 60L or go smaller? And do you have any lessons learned you'd share...

I know this is an older post but I'm just starting to make packs so I have some questions that I'd appreciate help with. Can you share what you used for the "plastic frame sheet" and the foam and were you sourced them? And are the frame sheet and the foam sewn in or removable? What thread did...

About 15 year ago I bought a great big 18' Grumman from an estate auction that came on a homemade trailer and had a 1.5 hp Johnson motor, partial sailing rig and a rowing rig similar to this one: I didn't row it much but when I did it would sure move right along considering how big and heavy...

Maybe it was the ever desirable alsg NYETI.... Lance

Beautiful canoe, beautiful lake and a comfortable campsite. What else would you need? Welcome to the land of the living from North Carolina! Lance

He already hinted at that..... he drank Bud Lite......

And we're talking about any kind of Bud and beer in the same conversation..... why? Mike, given that Rosie never met a bear (or likely never dreamt of a bear) she didn't want to dance with she'd likely get along fine with Precious. But if they tag-team a bear you get to explain any new scuffs...

Bill, do you have any pictures of how the suspension and harness are attached to that Ostrom pack? I really like the idea of pair bags whether side zip duffel style or some variant of roll or fold over top bag. Best regards, Lance

If your wallet can stand the prices Duluth has several packs with side and rear pockets. And although I know nothing about them this outfit makes a couple sizes of cane bags.... Chinook chemun https://www.ebay.com/itm/123933123718?hash=item1cdafd6486:g:pOEAAOSw-zhdnN2A Lastly, I think Mike...
